With this function it is possible to assign the defined password rules more easily in the system. Therefore, assign a unique name.

Minimum password length means that the password must have 8 characters, for example, but it can also be 12. Thus, the password will be allowed even if the minimum length is exceeded.

15. Set a number for the password update attempts.
After all attempts are used up, the password can no longer be updated by the user and is locked for him.

7.4.2.3.1 Add system notifications
System notifications inform the user about possible errors, warnings or important notices registered in the system. Thereby, it is possible that the user can take appropriate measures based on this information in order to use a stable and safe system. If it is not possible to find a suitable solution based on the system notification, the retail7 team is always happy to help!
Open the menu → System settings.
Select System notifications under the General menu.
Specify the maximum number of notifications to be displayed.
For example, if there is a 3 at this position, a maximum of 3 notifications will be displayed at the same time. It makes sense not to display too many notifications at the same time, otherwise the user will not be able to read or interpret them.
4. Specify the maximum number of notifications archived in the system.
This function saves the notifications that have been registered in the system. Thus, the user can trace, for example, which errors occurred in the system.
5. Define how long in seconds the system notification is displayed.
If a high number is defined under 3, it is useful to display a high number here as well, because this gives the user more time to read the notifications.
